Public Accounts Committee

Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts

9:00 am

Mr. Niall Cody:

On the issue around changes in intellectual property, in multinational entities intellectual property was held offshore and has been brought to Ireland. Income relating to the exploitation of that intellectual property is taxable in Ireland but capital allowances are allowable against that income. That is part of the tax code.
